Four new comics from Titan out this week

As most of you know, the comics market has changed significantly over the years and those who only focus on what's available in newsagents are inevitably frustrated with the few titles they find there. Newsagents are still good for 2000AD, Commando, Beano, and a few others but these days, comics speciality shops and online sellers (and digital comics) are where you'll find a wider choice. This week, London-based Titan Comics launch four new first issues featuring new material. Here's a brief preview of them, all available from Wednesday 5th March.PENNY DREADFUL No.1Ethan Chandler finds himself unable to move on.
